In what will be their first public showing in an election, the Libertarian Party announced yesterday at Oxford University that they will be contesting the Henley-on-Thames by-election just as soon as Boris Johnson fulfils his promise and resigns his seat as an MP. And the candidate? Well that would be me, Ian Parker-Joseph.

Libertarians at Oxford University

Today the Libertarian Party leadership team set off to Trinity College Oxford to talk to some of our future 'leaders' along with some of the leading lights of the Libertarian Party, in the hope that we can persuade at least some of them that the path to national contentment is not an ever increasing State and political class.



On reflection our decision not to contest Crewe & Nantwich was the right one- The media are just focussing on the three main statist parties and the standard of political debate is as Iain Dale said on Radio four last night,lamentable. If all that NuLab can come up with is Toffs and keeping Brown away from the place they deserve to lose.
